Sabertooth vs the Geomancer

With the old guild hall destroyed and the new guild hall being constructed in their new home Kite felt that it was best that Sabertooth set up shop on the rebuilding Ace of Spades. All of Sabertooth’s standard operations were still going as as usual, the job board was as well as the temporary Guild Hall was none other than the refurbished building that had once been Sabertooth's guild hall once upon of time. He fancied the center bar stool and had a spread of papers on the counter in front of him, with a glass to his right. He took another sip of his vodka as he read through the jobs until one had gotten his attention. He had set that one aside while he sorted the rest of the jobs by rank, once finished he handed the stack to the hired help to pin the flyers on the board. In the meantime he pulled the flyer he set aside for himself and began to read while occupying his free hand with his drink and casually sipped while he read. His eyes traced the sentences from left to right and all the way down the page, he would read out loud as he gathered theinformation, ”Wizard Guilds, we are in desperate need of help. An an earthquake had torn through our land a few days ago. Unfortunately not only did this earthquake manage to damage homes, businesses or hurt people or did something much more dangerous. An ancient shrine where a goddess is worshipped and said to be sealed has also been damaged and thus elemental like creatures have been sprouting up like weeds. If this keeps up our town could be overwhelmed by these forces and be reduced to nothing. Offering reward for any who can quell this sleeping god's rage.“”So. Elementals are popping up all around Talonia and the causing a stir around the town. The locals believe that it's due to some god's shrine being destroyed from a recent earth quake… he trailed off as he spoke to himself recalling the events that use literally brought down their guild hall as well as had them face off against gods. Kite knew who exactly he wanted to bring on this job Mashyuu the earth God Slayer and Theo the new guy with a lot of potential and someone that Kite needed to get to know better. He would turn around to see if two certain mages were in the tavern but as it would turn out they weren't there yet. Kite looked back at the barkeep with a smirk.

”Hey buddy, did Mash and Theo happen to pass through for the day yet?“ the barkeep had a glass in his hand and a drying towel being run through it. He looked up at the ceiling and then made eye contact with the Demon Slayer. Kite watched as he put the now dry glass down and then looked back up at him. “ No they weren’t here yet. If you want I could send some of the boys to get them for ya?” Kite would rubbed the stubble on his chin before answering, ”You know what, why not. It will be the easiest thing about today.“
The bartender left the bar and went to the back to gather a few members of his staff and sent them on the errand to locate Mashyuu and Theo and deliver the message that the Guild Master needs to speak to them each. While the employees were out looking for the mages Kite would take the time to allow his thoughts to run wild a bit. He couldn't help but let his wild thoughts to point back to the fight against the elders, ancient gods that picked a fight with them and now paid for it with their lives ending and how this job seemingly points him to an enemy that is also a “god”. ”It would seem that my demon encounter has fallen behind my god encounter rate. Maybe I am the wrong kind of slayer.“ he would joke with himself but with the numbers where they were it wasn't so far fetched to think this way.


”“

After the barkeep left to to order his staff to go and retrieve the two men he wished to discuss the job with Kite went back to what he was doing which was enjoying his drink and the little bit of peace  wrote this got out of control again. His drink was finished and the glass was set aside so he could clean his weapons. His larger sword which he has no name for, was extended into its broad sword mode and leaned against the bar next to him waiting its turn as its little brother Rose, a lacrima saber morphed into a short sword was in Kite’s left hand while a red rag he got from the bartender rubber up and down the length of the blade. He had just finished and placed Rose across his back, with its roots wrapping around his torso making a makeshift scabbard and had reached for his primary weapon when He felt the magic signature of Mashyuu enter the Tavern, as well as the scent of dirt. ”The earth god Slayer is here.“ he would say and spin in his chair to face the large man as he approached causing the floorboards to creak at his mercy. Kite spun his chair as Mashyuu did facing the bar. There was no greeting only Mashyuu remarking on how not only was Kite the first to summon him, but that he also was lucky for Mashyuu was still in town. ”Lucky indeed.“ he replied before Mashyuu asked about the job. Kite causally slid the flyer across the countertop towards the earth mage. Kite observed as Mashyuu plucked the flyer from the bar and read it to himself. It took no less than a moment for Mashyuu to read the job and state how this would be a cakewalk but the reaction from Mashyuu mentioning he could handle the job himself made Kite look back. ”Handle this yourself? Earth god Slayer as well as a light dragon slayer. I have no doubt that this Goddess would be a foe you may be capable of handling One on one. However with different elementals seemingly at her beckon call it could be troublesome for you or even myself alone.“ he would remark. ”And for your question regarding who will be joining you...“ he was about to answer but as it would so happen, part of his answer had just made themselves present by greeting Kite. Kite would spin in his chair slightly and smile at the man, ”yes I surely did.“ he would look over his shoulder at Mashyuu and smirk, ”the answer regarding who is going on this job with you is the both us. Theo and yourself will be accompanying me on this job to Talonia. The way I see it the three of us could make quick work out of this goddess and these elementals at her disposal with our slayer magics and Theo’s Rune Fencer magic.“ Kite smirked at Mashyuu after giving a nod to Theo ”Let’s add another god to our list.“ he said to them looking to fire them up for the job. A thought would pop in his head as he looked at Mashyuu with a grin. ”And don’t worry Mashyuu. My airship is busted so you won’t have to endure it this time around.“

With the help of a teleportation lacrima Kite along with Mashyuu and Theo were now several miles west inside the town of Talonia. The town itself looked rather peaceful but there was something off about it and Kite could sense it, he could also guess that his guild members could also sense it. There was an immense amount of magic power that permeated the area. ”The presence of the elementals maybe?“ he recalled the flyer mentioning something about a shrine or a temple that contained a god, ”Maybe that’s the power i am sensing?“ he said to himself. All of a sudden the calm weather turned into a scorching heat. The heat itself didn’t other Kite by any means but he was able to sense the sudden and drastic change in the temperature. ”That’s an odd increase in..“ just as suddenly as the heat increased the clear sky darkened with clouds and unleashed a nasty downpour onto the three of them.  The combination of the heat and the sudden moisture causing a massive spike in humidity, ”okay then. They weren’t exaggerating about the freak weather patterns.“ he said as steam vented off his body as the cooler water met his hot skin. ”Alright so. We can either look around and ask where the temple is located or we can try to find it on our own.“ Kite was fine on looking for the temple on his own but there could be intel they don’t know about or waste their time and find nothing at all. Either way there had to be a choice and he himself was leaning on the side of heading out to locate it on their own. If they did they would be bound to run into at least one of these elementals along the way. ”I am up for anything, do either of you have a preference?“ he asked them. While awaiting their answer a small group of 15 fire and 15 wind elementals were on their way to the town. The presence of the three Sabertooth mages has seemed to upset them. As the enemy came closer to town the rain vanished and was replaced by another episode of intense heat and this time it brought gale force winds with it. The demon slayer looked in the direction the wind was blowing from to see them, the spheres of fire and glowing wind racing for them.  ”Let’s bench that decision for now and deal with these things.“ he would suggest preparing himself for battle. ” Mission starts now, its show time!“

”“

Kite couldn’t help but smirk upon hearing Mashyuu’s statement regarding how elementals weren’t a concern of his for he had more tricks up his sleeve then light or rocks. ”I look forward to seeing these tricks of yours then.“ he stated casually to the up and coming mage of his guild. Once Theo had joined them in the bar and everything was revealed he made a rather unique offer to the both of them, stating that they both should join his team. Kite replayed the statement over and over again in his head and chuckled after the third or fourth repeat. ”Sorry but I’ll have to decline. My days of being a part of a team are long behind me.“ he said in a clear and somber tone. Truth be told the number of teams he had been apart of and then one way or another they fell to pieces by one means or another. Now as the Guild master on top of it all it may not be the right time to be a team member.

Upon their arrival to the town each of the mages had something to say about the sudden and changing weather, Mashyuu worried about his magic in the rain, and the sudden change to the intense heat gave Theo reason to remark about the erratic weather. The heat didn’t bother Kite much and the rain was soothing but going back and forth was quite annoying. ”Once we find and put down this goddess of theirs then the weather will go to it’s normal state. No telling how sudden it may be but normal is the goal.“ the word goddess tasted sour on the way out and who could blame him. It was a horde of gods that dropped their guildhall from the sky.

The spheres rapidly approached the trio from sabertooth, thirty in total leaving exactly 10 for each of them. All in all this should be pretty easy for them, in particular the ones made of flames would be of little problem for him after all they were salamanders made of flames so that rendered them from five foot lizards of fiery doom to five feet of dinner and Kite was hungry for that to come. However the other elementals were made from air to the form of birds and while he didn't believe they would be a challenge of any sort he couldn't deal with them as easily as the flames. Kite began his approach towards his part of the battle. Not going in as head strong as Mashyuu he still approached his prey all the same. Ten broke off from the group to deal with Mashyuu, ten broke off to meet Theo and ten were equally as foolish to approach him for a fight. ”I would have expected elementals smarter than this.“ the weather changed once again and seemingly held over the demon slayer, a downpour of heavy rain. His body steamed even more now as his magic power began to regulate to the surface. Soon enough the steam was overpowered by the sudden appearance of his signature blue flames that poured from his body causing the rain to evaporate before even touching his flames. Instinct must have taken over for the fire elementals for as soon as Kite’s flames ignited two of them charged at him. ”Bring on the feast.“ he dodged one and caught the other by its neck and sunk his teeth into the searing and fiery flesh of the salamander of flames and began to suck down the flames that created the shape of these elementals and within seconds the shape of the elemental was broken down completely and was sucked into his stomach. A burp would escape his mouth followed by his tongue licking his lips, ”not a bad starter but I think I skip the salad and soup and hit the buffet.“ Kite charged at the salamander that had missed in its attempt to attack him and pressed hard into it’s back forcing it to the ground. It fussed around trying to wiggle itself out from under the hungry demon. ”Don’t worry, your pals will be joining you soon.“ he inhaled and with haste sucked in this salamander as well consuming all of its flames and soon it vanished like its other friend. Kite looked over at the three remaining elementals he could eat and then at the five bird like elementals. Content for now Kite was ready to drop these birds in their place, his hands were positioned in front of his body as he gathered up his flames and condensed them into a sphere in the space between both of his hands. The blue sphere of fire began to grow in mass to the point he had to raise the large sphere of flames above his head. ”Flame Demon’s Inferno Destroyer. “ he heaved the entire sphere at the group of elementals striking a bird and exploding upon impact catching the birds and the salamanders near it in the fiery sphere. The Salamanders took no damage but the birds weren’t left unscathed. Kite charged in instantly kicking a salamander out of the way and jumping onto the back of a bird, Kite’s hand was pressed against the back of it’s head ”Flame away.“ and he cloaked it in coat of flames shot from the palm of his hand slamming the bird down on the ground. Planting his feet, Kite launched himself away from the bird as the salamander shot a stream of fire from it’s mouth. A wind elemental came in next to the attacking salamander and both released a spell at Kite, creating an explosion that would have hurt if not for one fact. Kite’s mouth had sucked in flames of the explosion and aside from some smoking spots on his coat he was unhurt. There was a veil of smoke between them so the elementals were unaware of this fact and he took full advantage of this. Kite charged through and slammed the bird with an extended leg from a push kick causing it to crash into the ground. The salamander jumped at him but was side stepped and met a spinning back fist that sent it into its salamander brothers. ”Fire rocket“ Kite’s feet ignited and in an instant he landed feet first on the salamanders. ”tasty“ he inhaled deep sucking the last of the salamanders so now it was only the birds. ”Are you all that’s left?“ the birds flapped and swooped back and forth and despite not having any sort of visual emotion he knew that the flame salamanders and the birds combo attack was their trump card. ”Let’s finish this shall we?“ he pulled his sword from the small of his back and pulled the trigger causing the gears to shift and pushed the blade straight out forming the large broad sword fully. He charged in with a horizontal slash at the nearest bird cutting though it’s body of air. Following through he spun on his foot and landed a back kick knocking the bird to the ground. A sphere of flames gathered before his mouth and soon he leaned back and then craned his head forward, ”Flame Demon’s Rage!“ and just like that from the back of his mouth he released a stream of flames which caught the remaining birds in the blast. Craters and trenches dug into the ground from all of the fire power released from Kite now littered the land near Talonia with blue flames flickering all over the place. Kite began to walk away towards his teammates who were finished or finishing up their own opponents but stopped when he heard the sudden flapping sound. Kite would turn to see two birds in the air flying towards him but the demon slayer wasn’t worried. His hand was balled into a fist and pulled back with a swirl of blue flames circling it, ”Should have stayed down. Now I put you down.“ he threw his hand forward and shot a gigantic hand at the birds slamming into them and exploding, ”Flame Demon’s Desolation fist.“ streaks of air fluttered into the air as a result. ”Air and fire… I wonder how many more are littered around the area.“ he would ask himself looking around calculating the damage done from the first fight, ”We can’t afford to fight in the open anymore. Time to take the fight to them. Mashyuu if you can find this temple go for it. I’ll hold the fort here until you return.“

”“

Kite didn’t move from the spot where he fired his desolation fist at the last of the bird shaped elementals reducing it to wisps of air in the sky. Azure flames littered the ground around him from the destruction he brought upon the elementals. ”Those flames didn't taste too bad.“ he said to himself before hearing the voice of Theo calling to him asking how many more Kite had left to deal with. Kite turned his gaze over to his guild member and observed as he dealt with the seven remaining elementals. Out of the two he was having the most difficulty with the swarm of creatures and Kite had every intention of lending his aid but first he wanted to see and evaluate this Theo’s magical ability. He watch as Theo used his runes to turn himself into essentially a non corporeal being with numerous runes and let the bird made out of air pass right through him  and then countered by sticking the now blindsided elemental with the pointy end of his rapier and froze it solid to the point that in a matter of seconds the avatar exploded into pieces due to the attack of the other elementals. Theo had backed up trying to make space between himself and the other remaining elementals but upon doing so he managed to reach Kite’s location and was right next to him. The Guildmaster reached up and put his hand on the shoulder of Theo and gave him a smirk, ”There is Six left. Why don’t you handle a couple of the Birds, leave overgrown fire lizards to me.“ Kite didn’t hesitate nor did he wait for Theo to answer, he was already on his way to handle the Fire elementals. He walked normally towards the battle ahead but when he was within fifteen feet of his first target the three of them lowered their stance and hissed at Kite and in turn he inhaled and sharply exhaled letting loose a small puff of Azure flames from the nostrils of his nose ”I can make noise too! Now get over here.“ They snarled and the first of the three came at him but instead of charging in he let the beastie get close and right when the time was right Kite lifted his sword and dropped it onto the Salamander. The sword pinned it’s body on the ground and due to the actual weight of the sword without the enchantment reducing the weight of the weapon it wasn’t going anywhere. The next two wouldn’t wait for a one at a time approach, instead they attacked at the same time looking to pounce on the demon slayer. They were a little too far for him to consume their flames so he decided to take a different approach, pure offense.

Kite’s hand was pulled back and it was open and in one motion he pushed it forward releasing a wave of heat in the form of a circle in front of him. Inside this wall of heat ripples of azure flames began to form twelve total. ”Flame Demon’s Inferno Burst.“ He shouted as twelve projectiles erupted from the pockets of fire and rained down on the salamanders. However the flames passed right through them leaving them unharmed. ”Shit.“ he said to himself having to adjust his battle strategy now. One was a bit closer than the other so having little time to pull of a sneaky move Kite reached out with his left hand and grabbed the one by it’s throat. With the first salamander being held in the air by it’s neck with a firm grip Kite pushed it into the oncoming Salamander smacking it away and slamming the one he was still holding into the ground. ”So Fire doesn’t work on you bastards. Almost had me…. almost.“ he opened his mouth and started suck in fiery body of the salamander. It squirmed under his grip but soon it’s fight stopped and it was no more. Not satisfied Kite walked over to the other salamander but it released a stream of fire from it’s mouth catching Kite in the attack. Kite walked through the smoke and fire with little burns on his clothes. Drawing his rose saber from his back emerged from the flames to reveal himself to his enemy and dashed right at the salamander with his sword held across his chest with his right hand he was on top of the enemy before it could actually react. He pulled it across with a reverse swing and slashed horizontally at the salamander and cut through it’s body. The salamander screamed and lunged at Kite but he side stepped and swung his sword across it’s back as it went by. ”I don’t feel like eating you.“ He pulled out an elemental lacrima bomb that was tinted with the color of blue and released it from his grip to let it drop next to the salamander. Kite walked back to the last fire elemental that was still struggling under his sword but only when he reached did the water filled explosive lacrima explode taking out the target in a watery explosion. Kite crouched down next to the salamander and smirked, ”You I will eat.“ he said to it as he reached down and lifted up his weapon off the back of the salamander but already had the point of the rose saber driving down into the back of the fire lizard pinning it to the ground. ”Sorry no running away for you.“ he said as he grabbed it by it’s tail and pulled it into his mouth and literally bit into the fiery flesh and in an instant all the flames that made it’s body rushed into his mouth. Kite’s hand gripped the handle of rose and pulled it from the ground and looked over at Theo to see how he was doing. He also looked in the direction Mashyuu took off in ”Be there shortly Mashyuu.“

”“

Kite would utter the words about telling Mashyuu, who was no where near him that he would be there to help as he looked back at Theo, the mage hadn’t made his move against the three remaining air elementals. Knowing full well that time was of the essence that that Mashyuu very well might be up against any number of elementals, Kite would act now and take care of these things once and for all. Kite would place his sword against his back and let the rose saber secure itself around his torso while at the same time pulled the trigger all the way in which started the gears in his weapon to spin and crank to life. The segmented parts of the blade started to angle backwards and created a curve in the back of the blade. A new red edge revealed itself locking the curve in place and also acted like the blade of the scythe, the entire blade pivoted on the handle and the hilt extended like a telescope creating the long handle of the weapon. With both hands on the handle Kite gave the entire weapon a twirl in the air and ended with a long golf swing like motion and let the shaft of the weapon lean against his shoulder as he walked towards the elementals, ”I have no interest in playing with you airheads any longer.“ He picked up his pace and soon was running towards the three remaining air elementals, he didn’t want them to separate, he didn’t want to pick them off separated no in a group so that this could end swiftly. His first move was to lift the butt of the shaft and jabbed it into the closest elemental like a spear pushing it back as well as causing damage. Twisting his hand that held the weapon in it so the blade was pointing in towards Kite he spun and repositioned his arm so as he spun backwards the blade of the scythe bit into the next air elemental and with a yank the blade cleaved through it’s wing made of air causing it to drop where it once hovered. The third one flew off and double back to attack the demon slayer and he spun his scythe again so the blade was at the standard position for a scythe to be held with one hand just under the neck of the blade and his other hand holding it down lower to give a more powerful swing and swung it at the bird only for it to dip out of the way with a barrel roll and still came in for the attack. Kite would rotate his body with the momentum of his attack so he would just be missed by the bird and released the neck of the scythe from the grip of his right hand and with his left held the blade out and used his spin move to have added power to his one handed swing and would catch the elemental by its shoulder and cleave right through it. It’s two pieces would spin and crash to the ground. The unharmed bird flapped it’s wings as it hovered over it’s injured companion and left itself open for what Kite had next. Retaking its place, his right hand would grip around the neck of the scythe and would hold it back as if he were going to swing it but instead stood there with a smirk on his face. ”This isn’t meant for beings like you...“ the scythe blade started to glow first and spread down through the weapon so it were completely glowing with an awesome power. ”but I won’t be picky. Demon Hunter!“ The glow revealed its true nature as the blade morphed into a larger blade in both length and thickness creating a more moon shaped blade. Flames would then engulf his body and took off at a speed that let him close the distance between himself and the two elementals but that wasn’t enough, he would swing his newly formed scythe cutting not through one but through both birds. The one that was hovering was bisected while the one with the missing wing merely lost its head. The elemental’s forms would whisp into the air until there was nothing left of either one of them. The Demon hunter form would vanish and Kite would withdraw his weapon fully placing it on the small of his back and rushed in the direction he saw Mashyuu flying off to.

He wasn’t sure exactly where Mashyuu had gotten but once he was close enough he would be able to pick up his scent and if the Earth god slayer had managed to find some sort of combat he would let out enough magical energy for him to detect it. Luckily the latter was the case and Mashyuu was causing enough of a ruckus for him to do so and ran in that direction. Upon reaching he discovered the massive destruction that was caused by the god slayer, ”Well if I were to say anything about him it be that he knows how to lay the smackdown.“ he then saw Mashyuu leave waste to a fire elemental by simply turning it to stone leaving a water elemental shaped like a mermaid left. Using his fire rocket one last time he went airborne until he was able to angle himself and started to dive down right over it’s head with blue flames spilling from his right hand and then his left bringing them together creating a fireball in between them and it kept growing. He would rotate forward in the air in a front flip like motion keeping the massive sphere above his head and right when he was ontop of the elemental he would slam the ball down on top of it ”Flame Demon’s Inferno Destroyer!“ teh explosion was massive catching the elemental in not only the impact of the spell but the explosion but that wasn’t enough, next was for Kite to put this foe down. The flames around Kite changed from the azure flames of his Flame Demon Slayer magic to a new color of flame, a flame that he had not used since his last dealing with Marshy, a flame that wasn’t suited for a mage of good like him to use but he had enough of these things. ”Nether Flame’s howl“ he released the purple black flames from his mouth slamming it into the water elemental cloaking it in the flames. It writhed in pain as the flames of death ate at it, burned it to the point where it wouldn’t move due to the pain shooting through its body, ”Sorry I’m late. Find anything good?” he would ask Mashyuu curious if the earth god slayer has been fighting this entire time or if he managed to investigate anything.

”“

Kite's slam dunk styled attack was a surprise for sure and that was the point, with the water elemental focused on the God Slayer the flame demon slayer would have a perfect opening to attack from an unexpected angle. Luckily for the both of them Mashyuu had noticed Kite's fiery descent onto the elemental and the last thing Kite saw before the sphere was large enough to slam into the water elemental and deal enough damage to potentially evaporate it, with that not being the case Kite had no choice but resort to his hidden flames which once it were used he would walk to Mashyuu's current location but would be sure to take note of the way he was looking at the purple black flames but figured it be best he leave it alone. The flames were something that he considered a curse, at the cost of his soul he was able to save someone who he had considered dear to him but these flames were now his burden to bare. Thankfully Mashyuu hadn't asked about the flames but instead inquired about the status of Theo, the third mage that had joined them here. Kite looked back towards the location where he had come from and looked back at Mashyuu. ”I'm not too sure exactly. He had a few enemies left but he just sorta stood there.“ He said and then looked at the temple's entrance, ”He should be safe once we deal with the one in charge.“ once Mashyuu asked the next question Kite did a quick check of himself, ”Nah I should be fine. I didn't have too much of a issue with them. I just ate the fire ones.“ he would smirk and pat his stomach happy with the meal he had so far. Kite's turn to ask his questions and luckily Mashyuu had a very good answer for him, apparently he discovered that these elemental were protecting a literal underground church. Mashyuu pointed to a ledge and Kite followed what Mash was saying and listened as he shared his theory that the church was dragged below the surface and was the source of the elementals and while it wasn't stated Kite pieced together an additional fact and once it was determined that they would need to go down to the temple from up high Kite would add his thought to Mash's impressive deduction, ”If you are right about the elementals being originated here then most likely the cause of the climate change too. If we are lucky two elementals one temple.“ he said summing up his own thoughts. Mash also stated something regarding the increase of magical power since their arrival and at first Kite wasn't sure but now that he was looking for it he noticed the ether density was abnormal but that could be due to the outflow of so many elementals in one area.”I have. Interesting indeed.“

Kite would peer over the edge with Mashyuu to look down the dark deep hole in the earth where the church was located. It was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly but he didn't sense any sort of energy signature that the elementals gave off so for the most part it was safe from that standpoint but what he couldn't see was the bottom but it seemed that Mashyuu could. Being a light dragon slayer to a degree must have enhanced his sight in the dark, he only had insight due to his own time as a white dragon slayer, but Kite listened as his earth God slayer shared with Kite his observations. The church was a tower made from black brick, steel and other building materials and with the building's construction confirmed he had another thing confirmed that he figured was already the case, the jump from there wouldn't work out too well but the earth slayer had a perfect solution. With a slight quake that shook some debris from the ledge a large stone floated over and was resting on level with the ledge. Kite was ushered on and stood still with his hands on his hips waiting for Mash to do whatever it was he was about to do. The stone lowered down towards the tower and Kite couldn't help but take a step forward and lean over to watch as the their platform lowered onto the domed roof of the tower that was surrounded with spear like spikes that wouldn't be fun to fall on. The dome was made of glass and Mash had the idea of cutting through it and gave other options however Kite already had formulated his plan but figured it would be a not so good idea to to blow his way through and went with the slipping between beams. He found it difficult to fit due to his weapons on his back but with a little extra effort he made it work and soon enough he dropped down onto the marble floor with Mashyuu and looked up at the dome having an urge to blow the roof clean off. His eyes would shift as Mashyuu explained that he hated established religion and went on to explain his opinions. ”You aren't wrong.“ he would say in agreement, ”objects, ideas and people who pray off the weaknesses and the superstition are everywhere.“ he would flicker a flame on his finger glowing pure azure lighting the smirk on his face. ”We are Sabertooth. A guild built around the strength of spirit and all that is good.“ He would look around at the building and the floor, said all he had to say at the time but Mash started to act different, his aggression was increasing but at the same time a god slayer with his aggression pointed at an unlucky god would be bad news for that deity. He stormed ahead and opened the door revealing a set of steps winding down into the depths of the tower. Kite took the lead as Mash stepped aside in order to recover his stamina. Kite walked past but pulled out one of the flasks of he pulled from the his pocket and tossed it to Mash. ”Here. This should help put a pep in your step.“ he stepped to the first step and lit his hand a blaze with his azure flame. ”This place might have hurt and caused more damage than the good it promised." The flames grew brighter, ”Faith didn't allow the people here peace, Faith won't fix the weather, faith won't stop this god's wrath. Faith won't save them. This flame will.“ he said to himself and let his flames morph into a long spear made out of his azure flames and brought it up. ”No more stealth. Let's take the fight to this god.“  He spiked the spear of flames into the stairs, ”Purgatory Spear!“ the flaming spear pierced the stairs and with more power than he knew his spell had in it and went all the way down melting and destroying the stair case completely with an explosion at the bottom. ”That was unexpected.“ he noticed his power had increased on that attack. A wicked smile grew across his lips and looked back at Mash, ”Going down.“ he said as he took a step off he edge and dropped down the tower and landed on the ground below where the marble flooring was melted and disfigured. ”Time to fire things up.“




”“

Kite went on a small rant, speaking to himself and it must have been out of sorts for him, even Mashyuu who was a hot head himself told him that he needed to calm down. The reminder for them to locate Theo before heading home got Kite to focus more on his guild and less on the strange dark emotion he was feeling. Kite would nod but still proceed forward and would cause the staircase to completely be destroyed by his flames. Jumping down before Mashyuu Kite stuck the landing well enough and wait for the god slayer to join him. While he waited he couldn’t help but notice the strange and strong magic presence nearby. It was nearly masked by the intense ether in the air but just as Mashyuu landed next to him with a loud thud. The floor shook and soon it gave way completely from the force Mashyuu exerted upon his landing. Soon the duo from Sabertooth found themselves in the basement of the massive basement of the church. ”It’s fine. If that’s the worst that happens I am okay with that.“ He would reassure his friend however he spoke too soon. As soon as his red orbs locked onto the figure before them. It was a being like none he had seen before and it roared something fierce at the two of them. The force of the blast was enough to knock Kite backwards and down on his butt from the attack. In the mean while Kite watched as Mashyuu went force and started to go all out on the god once he was done eating his light. Kite stood up straight and smirked, ”works for me.“ he said pulled out a set of three lacrima full to the brim with fire. Kite smashed all three together forcing them to explode right in front of him and as quick as the explosion occurred Kite was already ingesting every last flame that presented itself to him. With his mana over flowing Kite would waste no time and soon his blue flames would surround him entirely but soon the purple black flames of nether would seep out and mix with his azure flames creating a mix of both flames. Kite’s eyes would go black and his azure flames would stream from his mouth as if the flames couldn’t be contained by his body anymore. He hated this mode, he hated resorting to these flames but at the end of the day if it helped stop this god he would gladly use them. The flames surrounding him would swirl around him and close above him creating a torrent of flames around him while he crouched slightly leaning forward. Once Mashyuu was done with his assault on the god and out of the way Kite launched himself like a rocket just cleared for take off at Tessara striking the god in the midsection and push it into a wall, ”Netherflame devil’s hellraiser.“ the flames from the attack would vanish and instantly the God would take a swipe at the demon slayer. Kite would jump just out of it’s reach and extend his hand shooting a stream of blue and black flames at it searing a symbol into it. It would chuckle and attempt to summon it’s elementals but as soon as it did the crest would blow instead dealing damage to it as a result causing it to scream in pain. ”Does it hurt?“ It wasn’t happy and would lunch at Kite with its gnarled teeth and would sink them into him.

Kite’s arms would reach out and latch onto it, subjecting it to the black aura cloaking it completely in it burning it completely but he wasn’t done. ”Time to burn. Eruption!“ a sudden and massive explosion would ensnare the god in flames of both orientation and would writhe in pain from the fire power. Kite would toss the smoldering body of the god to the side and look back at his partner. Remembering Mashyuu’s words Kite would look at his guild member and smile. ”That sounds like fun.“ He would jump back and begin to focus all his flames into a sphere in front of his mouth. It was his Flame demon’s raging Inferno, the move he used when he was forced to blow his guild apart, it was fitting that he would use this spell on an opponent that was referred to as a god. ”Whatever you are thinking of doing let's do it. “ he would crane his head forward and whether he added something to the sphere hovering in front of Kite’s face or after the blast was shot Kite would release it all. ”NetherFlame Demon’s Raging Inferno!“ he would launch the attack, a large cone shape blast of fire rushing at the would be god.
